PROACTIVE MOBILITY PLANNING A DYNAMIC FUTURE
Brown Bag Series
The popularity of NYMTC’s Brown Bag series flourished in 2024, creating a demand that resulted in turning this webinar series into a monthly event. The NYMTC Brown Bag webinar is an informative transportation series that presents vital transportation topics and projects that are in the news and of great interest to transportation pro- fessionals and the public. Among the webinars produced during 2024 included the New York City Department of Transportation’s Mobility Dashboard, Long Beach's Resil-
iency Efforts, the New York City Department of City Planning’s Zero Carbon Zoning, Suffolk County’s Suburban Bus Redesign Initiatives, Hoboken’s Vision Zero, and much more.
NYMTC continued to secure education credits for these events through the American Insti- tute of Certified Planners, which has helped attract more attendees from across the country. We look forward to upcoming event topics in 2025 that will focus on NYMTC’s Hub Bound Travel Report, the Palisades Shared Used Path Feasibility study; Westchester County’s Bee- Line free fare effort, and more.
NYMTC’s 9-11 Memorial Program
In October 2024, NYMTC awarded six graduate students from New York and New Jersey universities a one-year academic fellowship in trans- portation planning as part of the agency’s September 11 Memorial Program for Regional Transportation Plan- ning. The program awards students with a fellowship to conduct innovative transporta- tion planning research under the guidance of a mentor from NYMTC
or a NYMTC member agency. NYMTC established the annual program in 2005 to honor the memory of Ignatius Adanga, Charles Lesperance, and See Wong Shum, the three NYMTC employees who lost their lives during the World Trade Center attacks in 2001. NYMTC administers the program in collaboration with Rutgers University’s Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation.
